Bankable

Last Thursday, our Bankable marketing interns hit the road, visiting 11 banks across the Fishers area. To thank the banking professionals who help strengthen Indiana's small business community, we delivered bouquets of gum to each branch.

The interns had the opportunity to meet banking professionals, share what Bankable is doing to support entrepreneurs, and experience the importance of relationship-building firsthand.

A huge thank you to every bank that welcomed us. We had a great time and look forward to continuing to work together to help Indiana's entrepreneurs grow and succeed.

Bankable client Alicia Mckoy was recently featured in the Indianapolis Business Journal, and her story is worth a read.

Alicia is the Founder & CEO of Peak Mind Online, an Indiana-based startup helping people build healthy responses to stress at work. The IBJ sat down with her to discuss her entrepreneurial journey, her product lineup, and the perseverance that earned her a TechPoint Mira Resilience Award earlier this year.

We're proud to support entrepreneurs like Alicia as they grow, innovate, and make an impact right here in Indiana.

Every loan application is unique, but the strongest ones share a few characteristics in common:

1) Strong startup story: Demonstrate that you understand your market and show how your idea solves a problem
2) Ability to repay: Startups should showcase reliable income and early revenue, while existing businesses should highlight steady cash flow and realistic projections
3) Skin in the game: Present your time invested, collateral, and plan to move your business forward

Whether you’re ready to apply now or still planning, these areas can help you submit a strong application.
